i was at home depot in burnaby yesterday and they were all sold out of alaskan ice melt (unless they put out an empty display as a sales gimmick?)

my friend said that the rona in vancouver still had salt, but it wasn't the cheap stuff (not sure what brand it was).

someone sort of asked this a few posts earlier... what kind of winter tire should we be choosing based on the last couple of snowfalls? ie. something with deep treads for unplowed snow, or heavily siped for pack ice? it just seems like it's either or and it's hard to find a tire that can do both optimally.
